    The best I know is NaturalReader. But it is PC (and mac?) only.

    Did Cameron plan for the UK to shut down for April?

    OK, true, but surely this is some middle ground between working 365 a year and resorting to unemployment. It's a one-off wedding for goodness sakes. And really, these Bank Hols are the same - in quantity - every year, it's just the timing has seemingly changed. I know that makes it appear as...

    Should the UK TV Licence be scrapped and BBC fund themselves

    What do you mean? Coz 99% of the TV I watch was made outside the UK. I watch Latin American shows, North American shows, and have watched the odd French TV's evening line-up in the 90s. So I have done your 6 month test and am still not convinced. Should I be allowed to stop paying the BBC now?

    The above is an opinion. In no way is any of it fact.

    Should the UK TV Licence be scrapped and BBC fund themselves

    There are other channels besides the BBC, you know. It's not like we have a a choice of either BBC or Norwegian TV. We have ITV (shite, but it's there), Ch4 and 5, Sky, etc. Whoever wants to pay for the BBC should be free to do so, and those who don't, shouldn't have to.

    Did Cameron plan for the UK to shut down for April?

    internetspaceships, your employees are slugging their guts out doing something they'd probably not do (as much) if they were wealthy - and doing it for like 48 weeks a year til they die, basically. And so one extra day for them to be autonomous, self-determining, (they could wake up 9am and...

    How have you prepared to become an entrepreneur?

    Hi, I am a methodical (?) person - to a fault, and would rather read a whole book on how to do something before embarking on the activity, than starting the activity and looking up parts peacemeal and not understanding the interconnections between things. My cousin this week asked me: "How...

    Advice on launching new dating site in USA.

    So any place would be good, so why did you choose USA, if the UK or Australia would be just as good? Is it coz you feel startups are more successful over there? Do you get me? It's like saying: BBC1 is just as good as Channel 5, but I have to watch Channel 5.

    Advice on launching new dating site in USA.

    I'm not trying to be rude, just curious: a) Why are you focusing on the USA dating market? b) Why are you asking about the USA dating market on a UK business forum? Have you tried asking on a USA business forum? It might be a better bet.

    I've stopped buying things online

    Online shopping has an advantage: convenience. In a country that shuts down at 5.30pm, except weekends, where it remains mostly shut, there will always be people who opt to buy online. I know what you mean about sending money out of the UK economy, but I finish work at the same time most...

    Schedule for those who work fulltime and (will) have their own business after hours

    Hi, I am basically reading up on break-even analysis, revenue, how to write a business plan and other info that I'm going to need if I go into this. I have no business training, so I don't want to go into this naively. I work full-time and am always complaining about the lack of free time I...
